At the Beach

I can’t believe it is the last week of school! The school year seemed so long when I was a kid. Now, it feel like it passes in the blink of an eye. We are busily making plans for fencing camp, horseback riding, staying with Grandma and visiting family in Virginia.

Once again, a Whimsy & Stars Studio image made me think of my daughter. Although we don’t live near an ocean, we do not live too far from Lake Michigan. I grew up about 30 blocks from the lake but now live about 20 miles away. I am still amazed at how different the weather can be when you are at the lakefront. On Memorial day, it was over 80-degrees at our house. We drove down to the lake front to take a walk and it was just 60-degrees. So, to get to the point, I won’t be surprised to see my daughter dressed like this, down at the lakefront over the summer.

I agree it does remind me of your daughter so sweet and ready for to hang by the water. Your stitching on your cards is amazing. My mom tells time races by because of age, I refuse to believe that is the reason :)

Okay, Berry the Snowman doesn’t have the same ring as Frosty, but I think his cuteness totally makes up for it. This is another one of the images that I colored during my crafting day with a friend before Thanksgiving. I’m happy I had the chance to get him on a card. Have a great week!

Hello! Today is my day to post on the Pumpkin Spice blog. My card fits our current challenge, “Time”. We would love to see your project with either a word or element that implies time. I have to admit I was a bit stumped by the challenge at first. I could only think of clocks and watches, but I didn’t have any stamps that would fit. I finally had my “Ah ha!” moment and thought about looking up a quote about time. I found this quote from John Lennon that I really liked and the idea for my card grew from there and these beautiful Pebbles Inc. papers.I love these new papers from Pebbles, Inc. The colors are so bright and cheery, I had to use them to chase away the spring gloom we have right now. I love each of the 18 patterns (2 pages of each) included in the 6x6 pad.I hope this helps to inspire you to think out of the box and create a project for our “Time” challenge. You can link up your project and find the challenge details HERE. Thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a fabulous …

Hello! I managed to sneak into my craft room for a bit today. My daughter is turning 16 next week. (Where does the time go?)

Since the demise of Picasa, I have not found a new program to edit my photos. I know there are several available but I have not had time to learn a new program. I apologize that my photos are less than optimal at the moment.

I am a 40-something year old working mom. I live in Wisconsin with my husband, daughter, a dog, and a parrot. During the day I work with numbers and spread sheets so in the evenings I enjoy a chance to play with paper and be creative. I am hopelessly addicted to designer papers, Copic markers, buttons and baker's twine. I love to use these items along lots of layers and stitching when creating my projects. You might know me as elizgmom on Splitcoast and other networks. Besides paper crafts, I love reading, listening to music, and having fun with my family. Thank you for stopping by!
